Eliot Players to Give Production of Farces

The Eliot Drama Group Will open its spring season Thursday, Feb. 26 with three traditional farces on an arena stage. Cervante's The Judge of the Divorce Court, Holberg's The Healing Spring, and an anonymous French play, Master Pierre Patelin, make up the program.

These plays represent the beginnings of a national theatre in Spain, Denmark, and France respectively, a spokesman said. "I think the job of college theatre is to do those great plays that will not elsewhere receive production," he added.

Eliot House Dining Hall will house the performances, which are scheduled to run through March 1. Healing Spring is being done in modern dress, while the other two farces have a period setting. Co-directors are John D. Hancock '61 and William D. Gordy '61.
